About The Sandpiper Lounge

The Sandpiper Lounge is a local dive bar with a unique atmosphere. While the quality of the establishment has declined and service can be inconsistent, the bar still has its charm. During the week, staff members Fernando and Christian create a fun and relaxed environment. The bar is family-owned and has been a staple in Laguna Beach since 1942. It offers live music seven nights a week with a $5 cover charge, and features inexpensive drinks that cater to many tastes. The lively atmosphere and friendly staff make it a great spot to grab a drink and enjoy a good time. Parking is available on the streets and land from Coast Highway up the hill past Gleneyre, which is free but requires a bit of walking—perfect for those who enjoy a little exercise while heading to the bar. If dive bars aren’t your thing, this place might not be for you, but for fans of casual spots, it’s a favorite. The bartenders are professional and efficient, and the overall ambiance is good for a "bars" bar. Many visitors appreciate the friendly service and the fun environment, making The Sandpiper Lounge a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
